Have the Klitscko's ever been in the ring with someone like Haye?

    David recently said this in an interview with sky sports news.
    "I believe i can beat both, they have never been in the ring with someone like me"
    Do you agree with this statement?

    I suppose Lennox Lewis is the closest you can get to Haye.

    But Lennox had the better chin, was bigger.

    Haye is faster.

    They're different in other ways of course to, but if you look at from just a skill perspective. The Klitschko have fought very few fighters with real skills.

    Lennox was clearly overweight against Vitali K and still beat him.

    Vitali fought Herbie Hide who had speed and a fragile Glass Jaw like Haye has and knocked him out with the wind of his punches.

    Haye has ZERO chance against Vitali if he runs like he did against Valuev he loses 120-108 on all 3 scorecards.

    Herbie Hide is garbage.

    Be real.

    Corrie Sanders is probably the closest comparison. Fast hands, good punch, darting attacks. Haye is better than Sanders was, though.

    Chris Byrd. Only Byrd has the better defense while Haye has the better offense.

    not much different than Haye really. Hide was willing to go toe to toe with Riddick Bowe. Haye would have ran the whole fight. I respect Hide for that.

    This is who i think is the most similar in terms of style but i see Haye having much more skill than Sanders.

    The thing with Corrie Sanders is yes, he was fast, big, and hit hard, but he was very low in the skills department.

    He goes foward in straight lines, doesn't move his head, isn't agile at all, and is relatively easy to hit.

    Haye makes some big technical mistakes too, but he is clearly more skilled than Corrie Sanders.

    This is true. The Klitschkos have not been improving in recent years because of the sub par challengers they have been facing. Haye will shock them and then put them to sleep.

    But the thing is Sanders went right at Wlad and Vitali in a straight line coming forward. Haye has been using a back peddling style in his last 2 fights. You are not going to beat either Klitschko like that. You have to go right at them.

    Haye just fought Valuev and Ruiz and you want to call the Klitschko's opposition sub par? :lol::lol::lol::rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:patsch:patsch:patsch:patsch
